SharpAI's DeepCamera Brings Local Vision-Language Models to Private CCTV Monitoring

SharpAI's open-source DeepCamera platform lets users run vision-language models such as Qwen, DeepSeek, SmolVLM and LLaVA entirely on local hardware, turning ordinary security cameras into privacy-focused AI monitoring systems that never send footage to the cloud. The project positions itself as an alternative to subscription services like Ring and Blink, replacing simple motion or face triggers with contextual scene understanding that can describe who did what and when.
